We are planning small home improvements during the next year to prepare our house for sale. I would like to switch out our 4 year old formica countertop and replace it with granite tile. A slab is out of the question due to cost. We have a small kitchen and would need about 40 tiles. When I looked on the internet for costs, it seems I can get these tiles for under $300.00? Does that sound right, I think that's less than what we paid for the Formica. Also, my next question is can you use the same tile for the entryway, which is next to the kitchen, or it that a little too much of the same thing?

I live in San Diego, so we're not talking about many months of cold here, but if I'm going to get rid of carpet, some subtle warming might be nice, as well as out on the patio to keep plants safe (got down to 27 last night!!) and maybe once in awhile when guests are over. Less than 1000 square feet that I'd like to warm. Anybody have any ideas??

I purchased many electonic items from an auction recently. I got them home and they stink of cigarette smoke. I can't actually "wash" or spray much of anything on them. They are a tv, laptop, cd's, etc etc. Any ideas on how to remove the odor?

I was at a company party last night and was wearing a leather jacket in a smoke room. I'm just wondering what the best way to remove it is.

recently removed a radiator and am waiting to fit new one,( pipe work blanked off as required). The reason the radiator was removed was due to a leak caused by internal corrosion. I've drained the system several times in the last few weeks but have never added any corrosion prevention agents. Can anyone recommend any and suggest the best method of adding bearing in mind i have a break in the system where my radiator will go. Tips on the exact process for adding would be much appreciated

i haven't yet bought the french doors however my girlfriend informed me that if i get standard size doors they are much cheaper. As i am creating the hole in the wall myself i feel this is the best option (if anyone can recommend any good UK sites for cheap french doors, be much appreciated). I am going to support the wall with two RSJs and was wondering how large the hole was required to be? is clearance required around the doorframe and fi so how much? also advice on purchasing doors required

Shop vacs only relocate dust, I'm looking to collect and contain. How should I search for something stronger (for use in a workshop, not in home) online? What would you search for?

We found a chewed box of uncooked pasta in our pantry and several shoes filled with that pasta. The closets are between 5 and 20 feet from pantry. We have found mouse droppings too! Am wondering if mice "store up" for the winter? It is pretty creepy to find these surprises!

necessary. To keep water away from the foundation? For what purpose? Even if that is the reason, gutters are not going to keep water away from your foundations. It seems to me that this is a case of "Well, we have always done it that way," thinking. What do you think?

It is cotton made and there aren't any preventions to dry cleaning. They recommend dry cleaning.
